Detailed Product Description

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable friction and reduced dust compared to traditional metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.6 mm, ensuring durability and extended service life. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which helps prevent brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration, while included pad shims assist in minimizing squeal and ensuring a secure fit. Although these pads do not include a pad wear sensor, their performance grade rating makes them suitable for high-performance Mercedes-Benz models.
